Warning: If you are eating or highly sensitive, you may not want to read this.
I was talking to a lady that volunteers in a rescue cat group who told me this:
They get so many cats each week that many have to be put down. But do you know how some of the places--not all but some--actually do it when they are overworked and overpopulated? They actually stab them in the heart to put them down!
No drugs, no humanity.
If that doesn't make you sick to your stomach... Being an animal lover myself, this really just flips my stomach out.
I'm going to start working with rescue groups to eradicate this horrible practice and assist in getting some of these adorable animals adopted. I hope even just one person on this board re-thinks adopting a pet or helping with this cause. It's a horrible situation for the poor, little, helpless puppies and kitties in this recession with so many folks just abandoning their pets. And the rescue groups need so much help either in the form of volunteering or fostering (Purron can help with information on that I'm sure) or even donating money to these groups.
You can go find who's up for adoption by going to: petfinder.com. You'll find a new best friend there I'll bet!
